We did this with all sorts of fucking Nazis. We were far too kind and should have hung a fuck of a lot more of them.
Same thing goes for the fucking slavers after their failed rebellion.

Killing Nazis and slavers is justice.

Killing like that is an emotional response. We should strive to be better than that, and them
YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 8 months ago
No, it is a response to make the world a better place. By allowing slaver officers to live, despite what our laws said, we allowed them to spin the lost cause narrative and take away all the hard won rights that freedmen achieved. We still suffer as a society from that horrible oversight. Think about how things would be different if black people had political and economic rights for the past 150 years.
The same can be said about allowing nazi and Japanese war criminals to live. In many instances, they also took back power and continued to do damage to our world.
They should have all died like Franco.

Fitting since the US’s treatment of native Americans is what inspired the nazis
Like taking in a student.

yeah, the soviet’s problem with the nazis was that nazis wanted to kill them all and they were of the opinion that that would hurt.
the US’s problem with the nazis was that they challenged anglo hegemony. not quite as big a difference of opinion. no wonder they rehabilitated the nazis.

It’s “great” seeing people trying to defend these nazis in the comments
huf@hexbear.net 8 months ago
well, they only did an oopsie i joined the nazi party by accident and took part in genocide oops. it’s not like they were commies or something really bad.
lettruthout@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Did those scientists have much choice about joining the Nazi party? And, once in the US, didn’t some of them contribute significantly to the NASA space program? Why the hate then?

Some were party leaders…
lettruthout@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yeah the Wikipedia article states that, but their sources don’t check out. 'Any further documentation on this?
lettruthout@lemmy.world 8 months ago
And even if they were, what harm did this cause while working for NASA?
turkishdelight@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
It’s not just the scientists. Check out Erich von Manstein. NATO commanders routinely attended the birthdays of this Wehrmacht general, and behind the scenes he was the unofficial commander of the WestGerman military for years.
huf@hexbear.net 8 months ago
some of those nato commanders were former nazi colleagues of manstein, so this should not surprise anyone…

A lot of those nazi scientists were defectors and saboteurs, for example Walter Dornberger, a Nazi General, was directly implicated in a plot to assassinate Hitler with a bomb briefcase referred to as “Operation Valkyrie”, but sadly only managed to singe his pants and rupture his eardrum.
Some of these men were good people, directly opposed to the evil that gripped Germany.
That aside, though, the list of names of Nazi recruitments from Operation Paperclip is very long, and I’m sure many of them were very bad people.
huf@hexbear.net 8 months ago
lol what, dude was a nazi who used slaves to make rockets and then avoided punishment after the war.
the july 20 plot against hitler wasnt done by antifascists, it was done by dedicated fascists who thought hitler was incompetent, and they should be the ones to run the genocidal war.
Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 8 months ago
If they were really “good people” they would have done something against the Nazis in the decade leading up to 1944 when the war was already conclusively lost.
FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 8 months ago
I think you might be confusing Dornberger with Von Braun.
Dornberger was supportive of the rocketry program in Germany and was closely associated with Von Braun but I haven’t heard of him directly overseeing the transfer of skilled workers from concentration camps or prisons, as I have heard of Von Braun and Arthur Rudolph. Instead, most of the records of Dornberger detail his politics in the Wehrmacht and claims that he was sabotaging the war efforts.

Are you mad that I called Nazis bad people? Are you saying the nazi resistance and defectors tortured your grandfather? Your reading comprehension is low, mate.

Actual quote from Von Braun:
Yeah he built the V2s, but it does generally seem like he was happier when he could use his talents for good rather than evil.
huf@hexbear.net 8 months ago
he was happy enough to use slave labor to build his death machines.
